Reviewer Conny Withay:Operating her own business
in office management since 1991, Conny is an avid reader, volunteers
reading the Bible to the elderly, and makes handmade jewelry. A cum
laude graduate with a degree in art living in the Pacific Northwest,
she is married with two sons, two daughter-in-laws, and one
granddaughter.

“And whether or not you
remember, I will do everything in my power to see that you are
comfortable in our home and with our children,” Mark Tyverson tells
his wife in Michelle N. Onourah’s novel, Remember Me.

At two hundred and eight
pages, this paperback targets those who enjoy reading Christian
romance with struggles and bi-racial issues. With profanity and using
the Lord’s name in vain, some Christians may take offense in this
PG-13 story. It should also be noted that the vague marital bedroom
scenes may be inappropriate for immature readers. This reader wishes
every pronoun related to God was capitalized for reverence.

In this predictable tome
of unrequited love, Kristen Tyverson cannot remember anything that
has happened the last ten years of her life. Being a top-notch
television reporter visiting Afghanistan, the woman’s traveling
caravan explodes, leaving no human remains. All are presumed dead.

Two months after her
funeral and burial, her husband, Mark, and their three children are
shocked when the confused Kristen arrives home, alive but with
retrograde amnesia. All four respond differently to this woman they
thought they knew but does not remember them.

Awkwardly Kristen tries to
blend with her bi-racial family and recollect her past but the
memories are empty from college to current life. As Mark lovingly
acquiesces to every need, she starts to have more than emotional
feelings for the husband who is a stranger to her. Even though her
two daughters accept her condition, her middle child, Caleb,
struggles to connect to the strange woman.

Learning of her mother’s
passing, current cultural and political events, and her relationship
with her family, Kristen returns to her journalism job, wondering if
her life will go back to normal.

Through emotional trials
and tribulations, the married couple rely on God for support and
comfort, whether it be dealing with relatives, reuniting sexually, or
handling one of their children’s problems.

Except for the unnecessary
profanity, Onuorah pens a well-written book that focuses on faith in
God by offering His eternal plan of salvation without preaching.
Concentrating on being dedicated to one’s marriage vows when all
seems lost, it shows what it is to truly honor and cherish one’s
mate in sickness or in health.
